God is on our side

As we approach the Christmas season, one of the themes that sticks me is God with us, Emmanuel.  God is with us and for us.  He is on our side.  He is not out to get us, rather He deals with us in love.   Psalm 30 says: With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes."   God was the ever present help of old for the people of Israel.  He was the ever present help for the people of the New Testament.  He alone is our ever present help today.   With Him we shall overcome our enemies of sin, Satan, death, and despair.   How?  Why?  Because of Jesus.   Jesus has come to beat down our foes.   And as we enter Advent, we look forward to His coming again.  Even so, come Lord Jesus!
